I think it falls under the category of emotionally truthful that a lot of AVclub reviewers have been falling back on in their arguments about plausibility.  I think it accurately depicts stuff like the fear Russia had about a military coup and the symmetry that exists between two agencies working towards each other in…

The Smiley/Karla stuff is great though the middle one, "The Honorable Schoolboy" is more about Jerry Westerby than Smiley.

A) Maybe he didn't know what happened to the girl who was supposed to go to Cuba, but Gregory had probably heard stories about what would happen to people who outlived their usefulness in Russia.  Just because Russia's cruelty was Western propaganda didn't mean that it didn't make an impact.  Also, I don't know how…

A)  How are the wigs not realistic?  Obviously if you get someone into an interrogation room with those the jig is up, but they can help you shake a tail if someone can't see your face or if they're looking for something else.

Paul Sorvino!

I think the inference is that he was a proud American who felt that the government had betrayed its citizens, especially the ones who looked like him.

No, I simply meant "On the previous episode of Monday Night Raw."  But I may start saying.

He's always had a personality.  Even when he was Bryan Danielson he was kind of a dick.  I remember him wrestling AJ Styles, and despite Styles having beaten him twice before, Bryan insisted on wrestling like he's superior.  Styles responds by matching him move for move, and Bryan gets dickish and cheap.  It's a great…

King's the worst about this.  I assume he's got Vince in his ear telling him to put the milk back in the bottle, but I can't stand hearing him talk.

And I'll bet you never doubted El Dandy.

On the Raw, when the Shield surround the ring, I couldn't get over the spongy man butt he had stuffed in there.  He looks like anorexic vader

Most of them fall under the heading of "special attractions."  They wrestle 3-5 times a year and it's built up as a big deal even when the matches are pretty flat.  Undertaker only wrestles at Wrestlemania to defend his unbeaten Wrestlemania streak, and those matches are usually really good because the matches play…

I would love some commentary that doesn't have move by move descriptions of matches with a handful of snowflakes at the end.  I Have a feeling it might work better in theory than in practice.

What gets me so angry is that if you look at where Ziggler, Sandow, and Cody are, it's exactly where Rocky Maivia, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and the Ringmaster Steve Austin were before they were given the ball.

Stupendous Man, as much as I love Virtual Pro Wrestling 2, I can't say that I prefer either.  If there was ever a choice where it simply came down to personal preference, it would be this one.

Uhhh, Chris Conley, at no point does Ebert refer to "Fight Club" as insulting and exploitative.  He gave it a negative review despite enjoying the early portions and the performances.  His main problem was that the film wasn't as deep or as philosophical as it pretended to be.  That's a valid criticism even if I don't…

According to the Bluths….

Was there ever a scene where Amadore and Elizabeth interacted.  I assumed the thing about them having sex was to mess with Elizabeth's relationship with Clarke/Phillip because he used the same phrasing about "nailing."  I'm going with bullshit and that it was just another way to get his giggles.

Good point, Dux.  That wig probably wouldn't stay on too long in an interrogation room.
